  1. Clarification on Search Tools
    The EnterpriseWebSearchTool is for Vertex AI Search, which is different from Google Search grounding (google_search tool). The documentation can be confusing.

    Proposed Change:
    Add a new document or a section in the tools documentation to clarify the differences between the various search tools available in ADK.

    Current state:
    The documentation primarily focuses on Google Search grounding and does not clearly differentiate it from other search offerings.

    Proposed Change:
    Create a new page or section that explains:

    • Google Search grounding (google_search tool): For Gemini models.
    • Enterprise Web Search (EnterpriseWebSearchTool): For Vertex AI Search.
    • How to choose the right tool for their use case.

    Reasoning:
    The distinction between the different search tools is not clear in the current documentation, which can lead to confusion.

    Reference:

    • src/google/adk/tools/enterprise_search_tool.py
